The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the S side of Coomduff, in boggy pasture that overlooks the Cummeragh river, this standing stone is not marked on the OS maps. Of regular elevation, it leans slightly to the N and tapers to a rounded top. It measures 1.7m high, and has basal dimensions of .4m x .4m. It is visibly weathered on the S face, and one packing stone is evident at its base.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 167. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
